A doll from the second Wicked film and a Lego/Minecraft collaboration are set to be among the most popular toys this Christmas.
Experts from The Entertainer, who select toys specifically for Tesco shoppers, have chosen their top 10 most wanted toys, based not only on current popularity and desirability but also affordability too.
And they predict that two toys in particular, an Elphaba Doll from the Wicked: For Good film coming out in November and a Creeper Construction Kit from this year’s Minecraft movie are set to figure high on many youngsters’ Christmas lists.
Tesco’s top 10 list contains Christmas toys to excite kids of all ages but also potential stocking fillers to suit all pockets too.
